My Background:
I am a student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn where I will be graduating in May 2002.  I will be recieving my B.A. in Elementary Education with a Language Arts major and a Math minor.  During my educational experience, I engaged myself in many activities that would promote my development as a future teacher.  The following is a list of some of my educational experiences, jobs, and volunteer work.      
  • MITTEN (Michigan Teachers' Technology Education Network) participant.
  • Student teaching at Hull Elementary School (1st grade)
  • Dearborn High School Assistant Varsity Volleyball                         Coach (1997 to present)
  • University of Michigan-Dearborn's Early Literacy                         Program Volunteer (Summer 2000, 2001)
  • Victors' Volleyball Head Coach from 1998 to 1999 (14 year olds and under)
  • Victors' Volleyball Assistant Coach from 2000 to 2002 (18 and under)
  • Fourth Grade Sunday School Teacher
  • University of Michigan-Dearborn Summer Volleyball Camp coach
  • University of Michigan-Dearborn Child Development Center staff member
I have a large range of experience working with children from ages one to eighteen.  All of my experiences are completely different, but they have all been extremely fullfilling.  I enjoy working with every age group, so I feel that I will be a great asset to any district that is interested in hiring me.  I will take my experiences, and my technology training with MITTEN, into my future job and use it to provide the best learning environment that I can.
